What’s the best in life?
To listen to this. See the volume rise. And hear the lamentations of your neighbors.
❤️🔥
🤣🤣🤣 best comment ever
Here in 2023! Anyone else feel we need inspiration like this now, more than ever?
We need more than never such beautiful music
Very well said an inspiration
I do now...in 2024
Los de arriba manejan el mundo
YES!!!!
Crom laughs at your 2011 remakes, laughs from his mountain...
+DankenReviews it was a pretty bad movie, to say the least.
My God, The Four Winds, The Everlasting sky, agrees completely with Crom.
+DankenReviews Crom says that it was an offense to have a retarded new conan , with a strabismus ! Crom will fart on him !
lol best comment.
+Arthur Yagami Better than Conan the Destroyer though
Conan, what is best in life?
To crush the dislikes, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their thumbs!
There can not be a better soundtrack for a fantasy film than this one. Basil Poledouris RIP!
Robocop, too.. I think Robocop and Conan best movies of all time.
Excalibur
@@TheGazavman Excalibur had great music too, but the majority of the tracks were taken from classical musical pieces, so it was not a "direct" soundtrack which was specially written to that film. However, I agree, Excalibur had great music.
What "massively" impressed me is the music seemed to gently capture the seductive nature of cults. Um...this is impressive. Made the movie for me.
It's even better than the Lord of the Rings soundtrack and that's great to.
I knew my two teenage sons were going to turn out ok when I came home from work one day to find the stereo cranked playing this. They BOUGHT the soundtrack cassette.
I'm still proud of them.
Great story. If I had children and if they did what your sons did, I would have a GREAT day and I would remember it forever.
Excellent story
They have great spirits!
I can understand that, this soundtrack is beyond epic
Loud and proud.
I was 13 back in 1982 when my dad took me to the theatre to watch this movie.He left and went to the pub next door for a few pints while I got to sit there in awe as this amazing spectacle unfolded before my eyes.My dad thought it was just a comic book movie.
😂😂😂😂😂😂By the anvil of Crom!
I was around 7-ish. Lots of way older siblings. Call them cool or negligent, either way, this fucking film is impressionable. Taught me the meaning of will, friendship, and a life well-lived.
858 DISLIKES tell me they dont now how to handle epic stuff
They are weaklings.
My dad took me to see this when I was twelve lol it totally changed my direction.
Been lifting weights and making swords for the past 35 years .
and as another MAN i say he done both of us proper
Crum approves
can u make me a conan sword exact copy?
Good boy you were!
*nods head in approval*
"He is Conan, Cimmerian.. he won't cry, so I cry for him."
+ClandestineOstrich I have many times during this movie
Ken Bolden
G.Lopez lyrics

"He's a bad actor, so I have to do the crying."
come let us leave this place
Arguably the best motion picture soundtrack ever made.
+Lukan2k
Along with the old school Star Wars trilogy, Lord of the Rings, Blade Runner and more in great soundtracks
+Johnlindsey289 dont forget Flash Gordon (1980)
+Johnlindsey289 Along with the Superman and Jurassic Park themes
+Luke2k No, sir. It's Morricone's "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly". This theme is at the top, alongside Star Wars and James Bond themes. :)
Agree. Basil Poledouris lands here a true piece of art. Amazing blend of strength and delicate touch.
The power is nothing short of astonishing.
The most badass soundtrack ever. This music makes you feel like you can do anything.
ekcj1 clean the house 😂
It kinda does heh.
@@franciscovianasantana4920 when u have a vacuum cleaner heavier than his sword, u will need this music
we can and why shouldn't we
@@franciscovianasantana4920 Do you want to live (in dirt) forever?!
To crush your box office, to see critics scatter before you and hear the lamentations of the girly men.
Few musical scores move the soul like Conan the Barbarian does.
Basil Poledouris wrote a masterpiece that will last through the ages. It is visceral, haunting, evoking imagery of beauty and savagery.
Listening to the music, one can visualize the whole movie. Genius.
DefTom ChefTom you nailed that thought!!
@@heineken6120 ...to the tree of woe!
Every frame of the movie is a poster so perfect is the art direction. The music is the same.
Conan the Barbarian was (in my opinion) an excellent movie, but what truly made it shine for me was the score. It was masterfully combined with what was happening in the movie, and each main character had their own musical theme. The Tree of Woe scene still brings a tear to my eye, as he hangs dying, the music is monotonous and sad, and just when it looks like the bleak end for Conan… it transitions into the wonderful musical theme of his hyrkanian archer friend coming to the rescue. It's beautiful and amazing, and to me epitomises what movies should strive for in music scores.
Tanson32 man that was good!!
+Tanson32
Nothing else to add, move along.
I always focused on the Eye of the Serpent scene. The score there was not on the original soundtrack. But there is a full soundtrack on YT that includes it. :)
esta escena también me hace llorar
Poledorious fantastic
Basil Poledouris often wrote inspired music, but none of his other Scores had the scope and grandeur of Conan.
Two essential qualities that make a unique Masterpiece: had not aged a bit in 33 years and you can listen to it randomly forever, will never bore. Met the man in 1999, asked WHY HE NEVER CONDUCTED LIVE this splendid work.
Answered he didn't like available orchestras and choruses. He was fighting for his life when he finally conducted it in Andalusia with a crappy Orchestra & Chorus. I was there. I gave him a hug afterwards. Out of tune Players and Chorus. Sad. RIP. Thank you for this immortal gift, Maestro.
E. G. Fraga: wow you met him!
thats quite of a story
Impressive!
Tried to watch on Y.T. the constant page turning of the score,by Everyone, even B.P. as conductor, smacks of desperation (let's git er done) and probably was the main reason it sucks. There are better (later) versions out there, check them out. Moral: PRACTICE makes perfect! Do you need, really NEED the score? Practice/ Rehearse more.
This comment add to the public understanding of this work and artist. Thanks for sharing.
One of the greatest movie soundtracks ever! Basil Poledouris rest in peace my sir, this was on another level! thank you for letting us have this magnificent peace of art work..
I’d not limit it to movie soundtracks. One of the best musical works ever.
No one in this world must you trust,..not women, not men, not beast, but this song you can trust -- Crom
What is best in life Conan? "Ti destroy your Enemies ,See them driven before you and to hear the lamentation of their women!!!
The best soundtrack of all time, period🖤
Agreed
originally de laurentiis wanted Queen to score the soundtrack, similar to Flash Gordon but milius said no and brought in poledouris, thank god
Thank God indeed. I like Freddy but where would his voice fit into this film?

Crom laughs at Flash Gordon
Conan + Queen = Manowar
- Won write milius with a Capital 👉 M - or CROM will Smite you ! - Severely ! 👿
Crom laughs at the 311 dislikes ... for they do not know the riddle of music!
hahaha.
They do not know the Riddle of Music, or the Riddle of Steel. They are bereft of direction in life.
Acaso eres un adolescente. Tu bandera te delata
This song changed my life forever.
Mines too
Robert E. Howard constantly insisted that, late at night, the Shade of Conan stood behind his shoulder dictating stories of his exploits from 10,000 years in the past and that the words came so fast that Howard could barely keep up with them on his typewriter.
I wish Howard had not taken his own life.
@@psylinx Yes. Its often the most beautiful minds, that are the most vulnerable.
@ I am sorry but I have to disagree with you. I am not going to chock it up to the Devil. Having mental health problems, no matter your faith, is where compassion and kindness come in. Just "demonizing" it is showing a lack of empathy for a person's personal battle.
@ Haha! Chrom laughs at your god in his heaven. He laughs from his mountain!
12,000 years ago or so, the world was an entirely different place, of which we know almost nothing. Atlantis was the leader of an empire that spanned the (then) known world. Only a massive impact event, causing an ungodly tidal wave to wipe out and change the face of Europe and Africa forever managed to wipe them out.
I am not sure that Howard wasn't crazy. But then again, he may have been telling the truth.
Back in the day me and my friends would listen to this sound track while playing D&D and drinking beer while eating domino's lol. I miss the good old days. Long live the true king of the barbarian's! "Conan"
What about the Star Wars classic trilogy soundtrack? epic as well.
Same here :)
Ive always wanted to try that, but never had the opportunity..... 😰
where talking about the food chain dominos pizza.
I use to play Warhammer to this music. Very epic. Perfect for a night of table top battles, and was a perfect D&D soundtrack. You would eat Dominos and chains? You are hard core!
Me trae siempre recuerdos de tiempos pasados. Mi hermano y yo hablábamos muchas veces de ésta película y de su gran banda sonora. Un día le dedique una de las grandes frases de la película; Si yo estuviese muerto y tú luchases por tu vida, volvería de las tinieblas, del abismo del infierno, para luchar a tu lado.
Hoy yo estoy aquí y el no, pero sé que el también volveria... pero esa es otra historia...
Conoces el enigma del acero, ¿no?
No Oscar for this masterpiece,? I'm glad they didn't gave him an Oscar,this music is worth of a superior award !!And that award is the peoples of the world recognition as a MASTERPIECE! RIP, BASIL POLEDOURIS❤
Well said .👍
"For no one - no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts. *This* you can trust."
Amen to that
YES
Too bad that the father was wrong.
The Riddle of Steel!
He wasn't wrong, cause Conan took that to heart.
Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis.....
fuck yes.
and the rise of the sons of aryas
***** and onto this: Conan, destined to wear...
Khazar Liar Jewled crown of Aklaeonyus upon a troubled brow...
Clad Kubelwaagon It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga.
I love that when you close your eyes and listen, you can see the whole movie in your mind. Musical storytelling.
What is best in life?
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

Obrigado, thank you
This needs to be pinned!
00:00 The definition of epic motion picture music.
It's just strange how even after decades these old movies still feel the best! The adventures seem fresh and the music fits like a glove to hand. Truly the Prodcuer had a strong vision how to create this masterpiece. Definately my favourite moment in the movie: "Do you want to live forever!" Loved it as a child and Love it still!! This soundtrack is pure gold!
THERE SHITE
Marshall Banana
Actually I had no idea of that. Thanks for sharing. :)
***** There always are the artists and the quickbuckers (con-artists! :) ). Fincher, for example, is one good director today. However, I do agree with the general nostalgy towards the old masterpiece.
I really don't see the way to agree with you more on all you posted.
Marshall Banana You comment made me shed a tear...
I watched the video over and over again, hundred of times. Still wetting my eyes when I saw Conan's eyes when he raised his head after pushing the gigantic wheel for over 20 years.
One of the most beautiful soundtracks I have ever heard. It has so many emotions, truly a masterpiece.
And Crom gave us Basil Poledouris who left us with this masterpiece.
I listened to this 3 times in a row while raiding in WoW. After a while I forgot I had it playing in the background and thought "World of Warcraft has really upped their game for awesome raiding music" then I realized that I was still listening to the theme song for AHNOLD!!!
lol same here been playing it with this
track 28:05 playing wow is the best thing that u will do never........looool
Such an excellent movie and soundtrack together. I don't need to see the movie listening to this, the movie plays in my head
Best soundtrack in the history of cinema!
Really?
@@itsblitz4437 yep
Listen to the actual recording for the film....it's much better. This one changes some critical notes making it sound ...off.
@@thegreatbamboozler4837 do you have a actual recording? Like a link?
@@itsblitz4437 should be on UA-cam as an original sound track... you'll know it's from the film when Mako start talking "Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aureus, there was an age undreamed of....". I had it on cassette many moons ago, then bought it on CD. It's much more ominous than the BSO version.
Basil Poledouris was a great screen composer. Did not know he wrote the score for Conan as well. Crom is pleased.
How this soundtrack was not nominated for best original score is beyond me.
Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!
Best prayer EVER!
Nietzche would be proud
I spoke the "to hell with you" part in my head in his accent
I get chills and smile every time I even think of that powerful prayer scene.
CROM, COUNT THE DEAD!!! 💀
music for grande men, best action film ever, viva the 80's
Just as it was intended, this music makes me feel like a warrior...strong, bold, and fearless with cold steel in my hand at the ready! Onward brothers, to battle!!!
***** What would you do for a Klondike bar?

"Conan, what is best in life?"
"To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to enjoy the cool refreshing taste of a Peppermint Patty(tm)!"
Gracias Robert Howard. Gracias Arnold. Gracias Oliver Stone. Gracias John Millius.Gracias Basil!!!
One of the most underrated soundtracks of all time. LOVE IT
Compared to other famoue soundtracks yes it is very underrated. But institutions like the AFI are aware of this gem. It was elligible for the 25 best soundtracks of all time. Sadly, it didn't make it to the top 25, but just being recognized as one of the greatest soundtracks of all time is finally some overdue respect.
those were the days of high adventure 👊
Basil Poledouris was a musical genius.
Is he Alive?
@@itsblitz4437 Sadly no, he passed in 2006.
He managed to combine music and power, without ever descending into loudness.
RopoCop, The Hunt for Red October, and Starship Troopers are greater for it.
But this, Conan the Barbarian, is perhaps the greatest soundtrack ever made.

Crom laughs at the two who thumbed this down.
"Crom laughs at your four... er... two winds!"
I hope so! Other wise, too hell with him!
ENOUGH TALK!
ivanafterfive 39 dislikers now who should contemplate their lameness on the Tree of Woe.
laughs from his mountain
EPIC MUSIC EPIC MOVIE !
indeed baby
One of the best soundstracks ever composed. Rip Basil Poledouris. I love this film and, of course, this masterpiece.
Love this soundtrack and Basil Poledouris. This is a perfect example of what an amazing soundtrack can do for a movie
Basil knew what he was doing here. One of the best original soundtracks of all time.
One of the most epic soundtracks ever made, Basil Poledouris is a genius
Maravilloso, la vi cuando tenia 12 años..............que buena musica !!!
R.I.P., Basil. Such a fine composer.
What happened to him?
@@itsblitz4437 Cancer took him
Conan the Barbarian is a mandatory movie/ost for every men. The riddle of steel??? Easy! Its on the beginning of the movie with Nietzsche quote...From suffering and pain, you will get stronger and conquer your objectives in life. Conan did just that never giving up. What a movie, full of testosterone and courage, magic and battles, kings and wizards... Deeply inspiring for me since i was a little boy. Now...stop reading this youtube comment and go and conquer the world!!!
A movie my father watched with me to show what it means to be a man, and what warrior woman and evil woman are. A lesson in truth and strength. Respect and courage. In honor and accountability, something missing these days.
Agree but antediluvian period instruments? you mean drums right?
I really want to show my younger brothers Conan the barbarian. One is 11 and the other is 5. When do you think would be the right age?
@@Gunrun808 there is some nudity but I think the 11 year old would be fine..
I was five when I first saw it and I'm doing fine...no criminal record so that's something...and I only owe god...honour!
Bro, the riddle of steel was that it's actually weak, "For what is Steel compared to the Arm that wields it?" Thulsa Doom didn't invent a fake answer -- he KNEW the answer to the riddle of steel. That's why he said he was once obsessed with it. He chased it, discovered the answer and then created the Children of Doom. That's the entire point of of his father's sword being broken in the battle of the mounds. It's not that the Atlantean sword was better, its that CONAN was better.
Conan the Barbarian is a great movie, and before the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Game of Thrones, one that set an amazingly high bar for how to make grounded and adult fantasy. It is also a melting pot of great talents brought together at exactly the right time, with a hungry Arnold looking to dominate action stardom, a hungry Oliver Stone writing screenplays with the ambition of directing, and a hungry John Milius looking to make his mark after collaborating with Francis Ford Coppola on many outstanding films. What elevates the film beyond anything else is this cinematic score by Basil Poledouris that literally rocks the cinema and at times is like heavy metal for an orchestra, at other times is lyrical and pastoral, and is consistently emotional, uplifting, mystical, and filled with power anthems, while never forgetting the setting, the source material, or when to be quiet and reflective. A score that will remain legendary. Rest in peace. Crom is pleased.
The only time Crom was ever pleased.
Listening to this awesome soundtrack while doing rehab on my knee. I have contemplated this on the Tree of Woe.
This movie has so many fantastic quotes. This soundtrack is a testament to the gods. This movie along with numerous 80's movies shaped my childhood and is partly to blame for the person I have become... And if you do not listen... THEN TO HELL WITH YOU!
Basil Poledouris supremo!
What is best in life, crush your enemy, see them driven before you , and the lamentation of the women
This score, this orchestrated music, the movie's atmosphere, it's color, it's old narrative...it was all art. You can't try to copy or top that with modern generic crashing, blood, and explosions. Learn your lesson Hollywood. Learn it well.
"Why do YOU cry?"
"He is Conan. Cimmerian. He won't cry.....so I cry for him."
Later...that following morning...
"Do you want to live forever?"
Nobody will ever make a more sweeping classical masterpiece than these old flicks. Star wars, great. But CONAN well, Luke skywalker never cut the head of darth vader and tossed it down the stairs of the death star. Conan did. Makes me wonder what Basil could have done with Star Wars
lol
The movie was good but the soundtrack was the best of any film i have ever seen.
What about Conan's prayer to Crom. Now that's how Rambo and Chuck Norris would pray. "THEN TO HELL WITH YOU". LOL
baddest scene of just about any film
Poledouris would have made a worthwhile Star Wars film score. I’m not sure if it would have been as memorable as what John Williams gave us.
Although all good, none of Poledouris’ other scores has ever been as memorable as the ones for the Conan movies.
😌 So viele Jahre her und der Film, wie die Musik ein Klassiker.
A king by his own hands...but that is another story... ( still waiting )
Read the books or hear the audio books... amazing story.
"The Hour of the Dragon" would have made a good movie and just after his retirement as Governor of California, Arnold would have been just the right age to play the part.
How fitting it would be for Arnold to do this last film and make it proper trilogy.
"Conan the Conqueror"
Yep. Still waiting....
This epic masterpiece is what I listen to while running 🏃🏻♀️/ working out, gives me the BEST motivation!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very nice
Rose Hdz " Love " " Your " " Glasses " "Ms. " " Rose " !!!!!!!😊☺️😌👌🏾🌬
Very nice and beautiful sound of upscale rhythm.
Oh thank u so much yes its a masterpiece of musical art
With the right system i can hear it in HD3 surround sound.lol.
Esto no es música ,es MAGIA!!!!!!!
That is Strength, Boy, THAT is Power.
What is Steel next to the Hand That Wields it.
Contemplate this on the Tree of Woe.
Probably the best line by a villain ever spoken.
In the glorious days, when high fantasy was done right. When Sword and Sorcery carved out an empire where only the strong survived!
Basil Poledouris is a legend!
*MASTERPIECE*
Best sound track ever
There aren't many soundtracks that make the hairs on your neck stand up while listening to them - but this one does. That opening track and score is epic.
So... this is the paradise!!!
1:01 Man, that kick-in! This is a masterpiece score! Definitely 5 out of 5 stars!
Yo, aún hoy Lunes 11/Abr/2022.. sigo escuchando toda la banda sonora de: «Conan el Bárbaro» no se porqué.. pero mas aún en la Semana Santa Cristiana. !Gracias por siempre al genio de Basil Poledouris!
Before the times where Lord of Rings were released, there was Conan the Barbarian ! He was a thief, a gladiator, a warrior, a king. A legend !
This movie is mythical.
Truly -- all young men should wish to burn a witch alive after they have a go -- eh? Great Epic Movie!
except conan and hobbit and lotr has been around in print before motion pictures
@@Johnlindsey289 True but that does not take from this movie or sound track my man.
@@terran456cghost only in the movies. In the book, he’s described as “lean and wolfish.”
Absolutely love this soundtrack and the movies from the 80's. Playing Mortal Kombat right now listening to itwith my headphones on.
The new Conan movie can't hold a candle to the old one.
True , nothing like the old one ..its just amazing , it took us to that fantasy world in such a way .
It was epic than, and epic now. The 137 dislikes are still looking for emptiness
Oh, they HAVE achieved "emptiness", an absolute emptiness of musical taste and understanding. Crom looks down upon them and laughs.
I'll sink them in blood lakes full of impurities
Infidel defilers
They failed to understand: What is best in life.
I still remember seeing this in the drive-thru when it csme out. Had to he a double feature of beastmaster or cat people..lol
Orphans Of Doom/The Awakening! Epic,Monumental! Heil To Conan!
Best soundtrack ever! A perfect fit for this epic movie!
It is 2015 and this soundtrack is still one of the best EVER.
Crom laughs at today's blockbusters soundtracks.
😂 Made my day
absolutely epic sountrack, got goosebumps everytime i listen to main theme as i had 30 or so years ago i saw this masterpiece
One of the best, if not THE BEST movie soundtrack of all time. A true and evergreen masterpiece of music. Bravo Basil Poledouris. R.I.P.
Well said. Respect.
U can't trust women no kid's and no beast. But this you can trust. Epic.
so much power in a theme...If it were a national anthem, everyone would join the Army...
Mein Erstes Barbarisches Kinoerlebnis werde ich nie vergessen,
was für ein Film mit toller Musik.
Danke
Why is this the greatest soundtrack of all time? Because every time you hear it, you can see in your mind every corresponding scene from the movie.
Formidável e incomparável, pra mim, até hoje a melhor de todas as trilhas sonoras já produzida para um filme.
Simply a masterpiece.
Hearing this while writing my first fantasy novel.
The title of this vid says it all.
It is the best fantasy score ever created to this day, 2024.
Listening to this whilst reading the old Marvel comics. Doesn't get better than that.
The most epic and majestic soundtrack ever made.
"The gods are pleased with you! They will watch the battle."
"Are they going to help?"
"No....!"
"Well then, tell them to stay out of our way! Ha!"
1:03 a journey to the centre of majestic, unsurpassed beauty
Nunca, nunca nadie va a superar esta obra maestra! Gracias BASIL POLEDOURIS!!
